To all whom it may concern: l

Be it known that we, EUGENE E. Mnss'- Moen and WILLIAM SEVERE, citizensot the United States, residing at Epworth, in the county oit Dubuque and State of lowa, haveing part oi the machine and to revolve a` shaft having oil receiving pocketspositioned directly belowvan oil tank and to deposit the oil upon an element where it is directed to a A series of conveying tubes leading directly to the parts of the machine to be oiled.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character, whereby a single drop of oil is deposited uponan element and conveyed to a suitable tube V leading to the parts of the machine to be lubricated. a plurality'of. tubes beingemployed, each leading to separate parts of the machine, and each adapted to deposit a single drop oi: oil in rotation as the oil receiving element is revolved. TWith these and other objects inview the invention resides in the novel construction` of elements and their arrangement in operative combination, hereinafter fully described aiid claimed.

ln the drawings, Figure 1 is a central longitudinal section of a device constructed lin acordance with our invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view upon the line 2-2 of F ig. 11v (Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view upon the line 33 ot Fig.` 1.

ln thek drawings the numeral 1 designates a suitable casing, having its bottom wall 2,V

provided with a series ot' radially. disposed openings 3, adaptedfor thereception of a plurality of conveying tubes 4. rllhebottoni 2 is also providedwith an opening 5 centrally located in regard to the annularly disposed openings 3, and this opening 5 is adapted for the reception of apintle 6,

vsupporting an oil receiving and depositingV element 7. This element 7 has its upper face providedl with an oil receiving vchamber 8, communicating with an oil channel 9, which in turn communicates with an opening 10,v

arranged upon the element 7 y directly above the openings 3. The element 7 .has its periphery rounded and provided with teeth 11,

adapted to mesh with a worin 12, provided upon` a shaft 13,v suitably mounted in openings or, bearings provided upon two of the sidesy ot `the casing 1. The shait 13 is adapted to extend a suitable distance beyond one of the sides of the casing, and this extended `portion is provided with a trip wheel 14. The trip wheel 14, may be constructed in the torni of a star, as illustrated in the drawings, or may be of any desired formation, so as to provide arms adapted to be contacted with a working element ot the machine to be oiled. v

Arranged upon thegsides of the casing 1, transverseto the shaft 13 is a tapering axle 15, provided with a toothed wheel 16, adapted to mesh with and be operated by the worm 12.` The tapering axle 15 is provided with a suitable oil receiving pocket 17, and this pocket 17 is adaptedto aline with a vertical `opening or channel 18,p'rovided within a nipple 19. The nipple 19 has an upwardly extending portion 20, which is adapted for attachment with a suitable oil tank or reservoir 21. The offset portions oi the nipple the entire length of the nipple, so as to provide an outlet opening' 22, positioned directly above the oil receiving chamber 8 of the member 7. The oil tank 21 is provided with a suitable cap, whereby access to the interior of the tank .is obtainable when oil is to be deposited within the tank.

The operation of the device is as follows: When the working part of the wind mill or machine to which our automatic oiler is attached, contacts with the trip wheel 14, the shaft 13 and worm 12 are rotated and in turn rotate the cog wheel 16 and the shaft Vmouth of one of the openings 3 and thence through the conveying tubes 4 to the portion of the machineV to be oiled, it being seen that the revolution or" the worin 12 likewise rotates the member7 and brings ythe opening 10 directly over the openings 3 in rotation,

thus furnishing a lquantity of oil successively to the diterent parts of the inachine, through the conveying tubes 4, as the element 7 is revolved.

Having thus fully described the invention what is claimed as nen7 is:

l. An oiling device comprising a easing having' an oil tank and a series ot openings provided with conveyingtubes, a shatt having an oil pocket, a toothed Wheel upon the shaft, a transverse aXie having a Worin engaging the toothed Wheel, a trip Wheel upon the axle, an oii receiving and conveying eieinent having peripheral teeth engaging` the Worin mounted Within the easing, the eieinent being provided With an opening adapted for aiineinent with the openingsA provided by the casing.

2. An oiling device comprising a easing having a plurality of openings provided with conveying tubes, a rotary element having an opening aiininp,` with the openings of the casing, teeth upon the periphery et the element adapted for engagement with a Worin, a shaft for said Worin mounted upon the casing, a trip wheel upon the shaft, a transverse tapering axle wi thin the easing, a toothed Wheel upon the :1x1 f adapted for engagement with the Worin, the axle being provided with a pocket adapted to aline with an opening provided by a nippie secured to the ea, eng, an( an oii tank communicating with the o lng provid d hy the nipple, the poe oi lne aide adapted to aline with the center et the rotary element.
